Om denne tilføjelse

Description:

Barlesque is an extension for Mozilla Firefox 4.x that reclaims useful window space by collapsing the wide grey add-on bar into a neat set of add-on buttons. This extension is Firefox 4.x-only, as add-on bar is a new feature (introduced in Firefox 4.0b7).

You'll see the effect of extension immediately after installation; add-on bar won't be the solid horizontal band at the bottom, but will cover only a portion of the space instead. Also, you can quickly hide the add-on bar by clicking on the dark-grey down arrow icon at the left (if add-on bar is bound to the right edge of screen) or right (left edge of screen) side of add-on bar. Later you can expand the add-on bar with the same icon (it will show up-facing arrow).

You can customize some aspects of Barlesque behavior through the options dialog ("Tools" menu -> "Add-ons" item -> "Options" button of "Barlesque"):

"Show the collapser icon" option allows you to show/hide a small collapser icon next to the add-on bar; this icon allows you to quickly collapse/expand the bar. By default, extension shows the icon.

By default, extension doesn't persist the collapsed/expanded state of add-on bar between browser sessions; "Remember the collapsed/expanded state of the add-on bar" checkbox changes this.

"Side the add-on bar is aligned to" option allows you to choose, obviously, the side of screen the add-on buttons are bound to. Default alignment is bottom-right corner of screen.

"Position of add-on bar when find bar is shown" option allows you to decide how add-on bar behaves when find bar is called. Possible values are "on top" (default; add-on bar will be shown above the find bar), "overlaid" (add-on bar will be shown over the right side of add-on bar) and "hidden".

You can switch on and customize the keyboard shortcut to collapse/expand the add-on bar.

You can switch on and customize the keyboard shortcut to change the alignment (side of screen) for the add-on bar.

You can switch on and customize the auto-collapse timer, that will automatically collapse the add-on bar after a given number of seconds. Time is counted from user's last interaction with add-on bar (hover, click, etc.) or the last event/notification happening in the add-on bar.

All changes made through the options dialog take effect immediately.

Usability considerations:

Please note that the default bottom-right positioning of the add-on bar may interfere with UI elements of some websites (e.g. Facebook chat). If you're frequent visitor to such sites, you may want to change the positioning of add-on bar through the options dialog (or even refrain from using the extension).

Versionshistorik

- Fixed incompatibility issue with Download Statusbar extension.- Fixed the issue when the add-on bar didn't show during UI customization if it was empty.- Fixed the minor issue when right-click on the collapser icon collapsed the add-on bar and called the context menu at the same time; now the right-click is just ignored (quick-access menu will be added later).- Add-on bar is now expanded in case any notification event happens on it.- A lot of style fine-tuning.- Extension now works in full-screen mode.- Added the option to hide the collapser icon.- Added the option to turn on the auto-collapse timer, with configurable timeout.- Added the option to show the add-on bar when find bar is called; many thanks to Drugoy.- Revised some parts of code to be more secure and future-proof; many thanks to Nils Maier.- Revised the Russian localization; added Chinese (simplified), French, German, Serbian and Swedish localizations.
